so far so good
Had these for six months now and over the winter. Very happy with how they have performed so far on six different cameras. We live in Michigan, and I have only had to manually charge the cameras a few times over the winter. When the sun is out, they charge very well. They will not charge under 32 degrees same as with manually charging. They do a decent job of charging or at least holding the battery level when it is cloudy. The wires are very long which may not be very ascetically pleasing for some.

Never change batteries again!
I got tired of changing the batteries. I have not had to since installing these. There was one day last winter when it was -20 and one unit shut down for a while.it came back fine.

Lasted just over 2 years
They worked well. I ran three of them, and at 2 years and a month out two have stopped working. Seems like a pretty decent lifespan for such a product. Just ordered 3 new ones.

One stopped working but seller responded very quickly and now all work fine
Bought 3 pack one stopped charging battery after one month and couldn't reach seller.Update: December 26, 2022--connected with Seller who promptly shipped me a replacement solar panel. all seem to be working fine now, charging my outdoor cameras. Very satisfied with seller quick response. Hope that all panels continue doing their job. will provide update as warranted. upgraded currently to 4 stars pending coontinued functionality. if they continue to work well, then they are a great item.

Seems to do the job.
I have trees all around my house, some direct sun and some are shade. The shade will still charge but at a slow rate. The direct sun charges more. It depends on how much traffic you have in the areas where your cameras are or the settings. For example, if you have the pro4 and the wifi is at two bars, it will use more battery for the wifi signal. Which means it will take a little longer to charge. If you have the motion and audio set high and it records every 60 seconds because of the wind noise or trees moving. It will keep recording. Reducing battery life, which then the solar power will continue to charge, but it will be slow. But I will say, the ones in Direct sunlight charged 100% by the end of the day. I have one in direct sunlight for 3 hours, and it is taking a bit longer to charge. But every day it charges 15% more. To me, this is good enough for solar power. Maybe the name-brand ones will charge faster, but then again, they are 80$ a pop, and I would doubt it would be that much quicker. For those looking to buy these, you need to understand your camera settings and traffic and understand sun exposure before buying. They will charge slowly in the shade and in areas that don't have sun but for 3-4 hours. But it will take longer. Overall, I will give it four stars because it does the job, not as fast as I would like. But it still allows me not to change the batteries. If you are looking to buy these thinking they are like charging it from a power outlet, remember it's not a fair comparison. Again, these will work and do the job. Just at a slower rate. Once they get to 100%. It will maintain it, and it will maintain a % not allow it to drop on cloudy days. I like this product and seems to be doing what I want.

Just what I needed
Installed these during a very cold clody week. Once the weather cleared all of my cameras stay at or above 95 percent all the time. Build quality seems kinda cheap so hopefully they hold up long term.

No good, it seems…
Updated review: now it seems an entire three pack isn’t working. As you can see, it’s specifically stating that this is not an Arlo compatible device.Original review: Two out of three isn’t bad, I guess. One panel will not charge the camera at all - even when replaced by Amazon.Brought the camera in to charge to make sure it is the solar panel and not the camera and the camera charged perfectly, thus we have o e panel that is dead, dead, dead.
